Escaped England for more biking in Netherlands. Scientist, supports Ukraine, occasionally uploads film photos (all photos my own). I block all crypto/"traders"/OF accounts that try to follow me.
They are a very big help.
I have a 100-400mm IS on my canon SLR and it makes film (especially lower ISO slide films) so much easier to shoot without a tripod.

I've always admired shots I've seen from the hassleblad 500/80mm 2.8, although my family says (and I agree) that I have more than enough cameras already.

He seems to care mostly about wielding the power of absolute monarchy, and has sidelined or eliminated all his rivals.

It's because the UCI specified the frame design for racing bikes as diamond frame in 1934, banning recumbents (and other non traditional frame designs) because recumbents were threatening their sponsors (diamond frame manufacturers) business.
